If you do not throw yourself into the breakers, how will you ever meet the one who frolics in the waves? 

--Zen Saying


The Auckland Zen Centre is a Buddhist community supporting authentic Zen practice and training in Auckland City, New Zealand.







  Climate Emergency Declaration
            
We had a lively Sangha discussion in May and there was unanimous support for the Centre to declare a Climate Emergency. This draft declaration arises out of that meeting. After considering responses to a survey of members, the Trust Board has agreed to go ahead with a declaration.

                    Workshops are in a two-part format, and include:

  • detailed instructions on sitting and walking meditation
  • how to establish a daily practice at home
  • developing mindfulness in daily life.

After you have attended the two-part introductory workshop you are welcome at any of the sittings offered by the Centre. The next pair of workshops are 10 and 17 August 2019 (both Saturdays).

If you wish to attend please register here.
